REMOVE ALL DEBRIS IN AND AROUND FILTER LOCATION.

1. Set the air conditioning system in your vehicle to the RECIRCULATING mode. The cabin filter CANNOT be removed with the system in the OUTSIDE AIR mode. To do this, you will need to start the vehicle and set your air conditioning system to the RECIRCULATING mode and turn off your vehicle.
2. With that completed, sit in the passenger side seat and open the glove box.
3. Once the glove box is open look inside the glove box towards the back and look for a cabin filter access cover. If one is present, remove the cabin filter access cover by lifting it up and pulling it out. Skip steps 4 and 5 and go directly to step 6. If you do not see a cabin filter access cover inside your glove box, continue to step 4.
4. On the right hand side of the glove box you will see a rod connected to the glove box. This is called the dampener rod. Remove the arm by slightly closing the glove box while pulling the arm slightly forward and off the shaft it is hooked to.
5. Next, push in on both sides of the glove box or push on the back of the glove box while pulling the front downward until you disengage the stops on each side of the glove box. You can do this either way you feel more comfortable and in such a way you feel will not cause damage the glove box. When you are doing this you will be flexing the glove box until the stops that hold the glove box from opening too far clear the sides of the glove box frame. This will allow the glove box to swing down on its bottom hinge.
6. You should now see the cabin filter cover. Open the cabin filter cover by unlatching the two latches on each side of the cover and remove it.
7. Remove the old filter by pulling it straight out
8. Install the new filter with the air flow indicator arrow printed on the side of the filter pointing up.
9. Reinstall the cabin filter cover and make sure both sides of the cover are latched. If you did not have to remove your glove box you will simply just need to install your cabin filter access cover by setting the two bottom tabs in place and then sliding it up until it latches at the top. Then close the glove box and you are finished. If you did not have a cabin filter access door in your glove box you will need to go to step 10.
10. Pick up the glove box and swing it upward on the bottom hinge like you are closing it and partially close it until the stops on each side of the glove box re-engage. You may want to squeeze in on the glove box or push out on the back of the glove box until the stops clear the sides of the glove box frame, if it looks like the stops might damage or scratch the sides of the glove box frame.
11. Now re-install the dampener rod by sliding it back on the shaft on the glove box.
12. Close the glove box.
